武汉市都市发展区地表温度季节性空间分布与驱动力分析

基于2015年武汉市都市发展区30 m空间分辨率的Landsat 8遥感影像反演近地表温度(LST),运用地统计学、地理加权回归(GWR)等方法,分析都市发展区、生态绿楔以及主城区四季LST时空分布规律和各驱动因子的作用机制,以期为更全面、科学地规划城市发展空间布局和缓解热岛效应提供借鉴.结果 表明:(1)与单一的普通最小二乘回归(OLS)相比,线性逐步回归(LSR)可以寻找最优的多驱动因子组合模型,与LSR拟合的结果相比,GWR模型R2值提高了0.04～0.09,且AIC值均明显减小;(2) LST存在空间聚集关系,“高-高”聚集主要发生在主城区、新型城镇发展区、主要交通干线沿线等更容易造成高温聚集的人工表面,其中夏季“高-高”聚集网格数最多且占比最大,而“低-低”聚集四季均主要发生在各大湖泊水系;(3)绿楔生态用地降温幅度各异,春季降温幅度不明显,夏季降温幅度最显著,各绿楔生态用地降温均超过2℃,且在一定范围内,LST随着与绿楔距离增大而升高,达到一定距离时,会随着与绿楔距离增加而趋于平缓或呈下降趋势;(4)与前人研究相比,景观格局对LST变化的解释程度整体较低,其原因可能是快速城市化导致人工表面积增加,相应的人工绿地也将增加,使得城市景观格局更加零散,导致LST受多种相互作用因素的影响;(5)影响四季LST的驱动因子空间差异较大,夏季土地覆盖和景观格局与冬季土地覆盖、景观格局和人为活动的回归系数均为正值,说明高温或低温条件下这些驱动因子对全域升温作用明显.     

湖北省耕地利用转型对农民增收的空间溢出效应研究

基于2005～2017年湖北省74个县域面板数据,构建基于交通权重的空间权重矩阵,利用空间杜宾模型,实证研究耕地利用转型影响农民增收的空间溢出效应,并进一步揭示该溢出效应呈现的具体规律与特征.研究表明:(1)耕地利用转型各形态和农民收入水平都具有显著的正向空间自相关性;(2)农民收入水平的空间自回归系数ρ为0.65,表明相邻县域农民增收存在正向空间溢出效应,即本县域农民收入增长1％,相邻县域农民收入将会增长0.65％;(3)相邻县域间的空间溢出效应主要靠耕地数量、农业劳动力和基础设施投入形态变化驱动,其中,农业劳动力形态变化产生的空间溢出效应占总效应的69％,耕地数量形态占15％,基础设施投入形态占12％.因此,应注意提升县域间耕地利用系统协同性,利用其空间溢出效应促进湖北省各县域共同发展、农民收入协同提高.

长江源区浮游植物群落结构及分布特征

地处青藏高原腹地的长江源区是长江流域的水源涵养地和生态系统的天然屏障,同时也是自然生态系统最敏感、生态环境十分脆弱的地区,浮游植物作为水体生态系统中的初级生产者,其群落结构对反映水体质量具有重要的指示作用。为探究长江源区水环境特性和浮游植物群落特征,于2018年3月份与10月份对长江源区10个典型河段的水环境因子与浮游植物群落组成进行了系统调查。结果显示:10月份各调查河段流速、浊度、水温及电导率等水环境参数均比3月份高;同一月份中,楚玛尔河的浊度、盐度、电导率等水环境参数均显著高于其余河段;两个月份各调查河段的pH、溶解氧以及亚硝酸盐氮等指标差异不显著。采样调查共鉴定出浮游植物4门28属58种,其中以硅藻、绿藻和蓝藻物种数占优,分别占总数的79.3%、10.4%和8.6%。调查期间,长江源区浮游植物密度在6.06×10~4～39.90×10~4 cells·L~(-1)之间,平均生物量为0.59 mg·L~(-1)。浮游植物优势种有美丽颤藻(Oscillatoria formosa)、普通等片藻(Diatoma vulgare)、脆杆藻(Fragilaria sp.)、针杆藻(Synedra sp.)、舟形藻(Navicula sp.)、桥弯藻(Cymbella sp.)、小球藻(Chlorella sp.)等。两个月份Shannon-Wiener多样性指数(H’)均值分别为3.06和3.12,Margalef丰富度指数(D)均值为1.17和1.52,Pielou均匀度指数(J)均值为0.90和0.82。结合水体营养盐指标、浮游植物密度及多样性指数等指标对水质评价,长江源区水质总体呈无污染或轻度污染状态。

Production of Curdlan Grown on Cassava Starch Waste Hydrolysates

Cassava starch waste hydrolysates (CSWHs) with different degrees of polymerisation, i.e., CSWHs-1, CSWHs-2 and CSWHs-3, were prepared through the hydrolysis of cassava starch waste with thermostable a-amylase from Thermococcus sp. HJ21. The prepared CSWHs were then used as a carbon source for curdlan production with Alcaligenes faecalis ATCC 31749. The amount of curdlan produced and the glucosyltransferase activity during curdlan synthesis increased more obviously when CSWHs-2 was used as the carbon source than when glucose was used. Using both carbon sources, the maximum curdlan production was observed at day 5, and the maximum glucosyltransferase activity was observed at day 4. Glucosyltransferase activity decreased thereafter, and biomass continued to increase until the end of the experiment (day 6). Results indicated that the enhanced curdlan production with CSWHs as the carbon source was highly correlated with glucosyltransferase activity.
